MAnnie Wersching, best known for her roles on Bosch and 24, has died age 45 following a two-year battle with cancer, per CNN.
Wersching’s death was confirmed by her publicist Craig Schneider, who shared a statement from her husband Stephen Full. “There is a cavernous hole in the soul of this family today. But she left us the tools to fill it," he wrote. "She found wonder in the simplest moment. She didn’t require music to dance. She taught us not to wait for adventure to find you. ‘Go find it. It’s everywhere.’ And find it we shall."
A GoFundMe campaign has been set up by Wersching’s friend Ever Carradine to help support her family following her death. She was diagnosed with cancer in 2020, and kept her diagnosis private. "She's a private person by nature, and the diagnosis made her even more so. She wanted to protect her boys," reads the campaign. "She wanted to get better so she could continue working. And honestly, she just didn't really want to talk about it. She wanted to live her life, on her terms, and be with her family."
Wersching also provided the voice and mocap performance for Tess in the video game The Last of Us, who is currently played by Anna Torv in the HBO adaptation. Neil Druckmann, the creative director of the game and co-creator of the show, shared his condolences on Twitter alongside a link to the GoFundMe campaign.
“Just found out my dear friend, Annie Wersching, passed away," he wrote. "We just lost a beautiful artist and human being. My heart is shattered. Thoughts are with her loved ones. "
Wersching is survived by her husband and her three children.
